Hi Swapnil, Member class is used in the Topology hierarchy, to represent each member of a cluster. For me, the easiest way to find where it has been referenced is using the IDE that you are using. For an example, in IntelliJ Idea, you can right click on the Member class's constructor -> click on find usages. I'm sure you know this already.
IMO If this instance id is an optional field, its fine to use a setter. If its a mandatory field for all Member objects, the it should be initialized in the same constructor that is there currently.
